Thumb sucking as a kid has caused problem to my front teeth
Q. When i was a child i sucked my thumb and now my front teeth are goofy and my bottom front are leaning back, i had a retainer to stop the thumb sucking 9 years ago and was told i did not need a brace as they would go back naturally. in my opinion they are now worse, i do not want braces now as i have self-esteem issues, what other options do i have?
A. It will be very difficult to treat without a brace, but you could consider veneers to make the teeth appear to be straight, this will entail some trimming of the front teeth.
